What is involved in removing permanent suture and converting to vertical lift to lock areola?

August 11, 2014
Asked By:Rsmith175 in Cleveland, OH

How hard is it to remove permanent suture on one side and convert to vertical lift in order to "lock" aerola and preventing spreading once that permanent suture is out. What will I look like with one vertical side and one benelli side? Will some scar excision be possible without implant removal? Do you think I could have a favorable result after this? Average charge for this type revision? Will removing permanent suture cause any implant damage/ risk. I have silicone implants- 450 cc
